I don't see why eSports being on TV is a bad thing at all... specifically referencing Blizzard games SC2 and HS take more skill than CoH 2 does. I might even argue that WoW PvP takes more skill than CoH 2 does - just a different kind of skill.

I'm sad to see that RTS have more or less died by this point, because I've been playing RTS since the first AOE and WC2 but seeing the explosive growth of esports and competitive gaming is fascinating.

Seeing competitive games on actual TV is a huge step to further that growth and to ensure that competitive gaming has a future. And why shouldn't ESPN broadcast games? I'd argue that gaming should be given higher esteem than sports (and I played soccer, football, and baseball growing up). Only a very select portion of the population ever has a chance to be a professional "normal" sport player because of the required physical attributes, but anyone and everyone can compete when it comes to games because the vast majority of the skill is mental.

Plus games require a high degree of precision and coordination - as you've mentioned bowling does. A lot of professional gamers are more athletic than you seem to give them credit for. The stereotype of professional gamers being basement dwelling pimple nerds was dispelled long ago - and many teams require that their players work out to stay in some semblance of physical shape because it has been proven that being in shape physically increases your ability to perform mentally. Anyways... it is really cool that gaming is on ESPN. Don't like it? Don't watch it.

The amount of ISUs in this game made me want to cry.

Even though you're scumbags for abusing this unit you're still my bros so GG WP see ya again in the finals! (hopefully)

I'll check it out and possibly give it a cast today
